Beginning with the work of Lord Kelvin and Willard Gibbs, the author charts the evolution of concepts like equilibrium, dissipation of energy and electromagnetism, illustrating how these have been used to advance our understanding of physical and chemical phenomena. The book also examines more recent developments, including relativity, quantum theory and the mind-boggling possibilities of harnessing the energy within atoms.
